Friends if you four as pilgrims hand in hand | B |
Returned the hate of earth once more to dare | C |
And walked upon the water and the land | B |

If you with words celestial stopped these kings | D |
For sober conclave ere their battle great | E |
Would they for one deep instant then discern | F |
Their crime their heart rot and their fiend's estate | E |

If you should float above the battle's front | G |
Pillars of cloud of fire that does not slay | H |
Bearing a fifth within your regal train | I |
The Son of David in his strange array | H |

If in his majesty he towered toward Heaven | J |
Would they have hearts to see or understand | B |
Nay for he hovers there to night we know | K |
Thorn crowned above the water and the land | B |
